Teen Connect

What’s this page all about?It’s simple. We’re here to help you connect with books,
activities, interesting sites we’ve found on the Internet and, of
course, other teens who also enjoy the library. Maybe, along the way,
you’ll discover other connections: to memorable characters in books, to
fantastic universes you’ve never before imagined, and to a wider, more
complex world. Welcome to TeenConnect!

How do I get a library card?Teens 14 and up can get cards without the help of a
parent. You need to bring something to the library that proves you
either live in Saco, or if you don’t, that you attend school here. Some
things you could use: the envelope from mail you received at your Saco
home address, your driver’s license or learner’s permit, your school ID
card or your official school schedule.

What if I’m not 14 yet? You will need to have your parent or guardian fill out
and sign the application card.Can you help me with my
homework?We can help you find the resources to get help. Our site
contains many links to online homework help. In addition, we have lots
of helpful books (bet you knew that!) Unfortunately, none of us are
chemistry or calculus experts… [Click

a good book?We love to read, too. So, yes we can! Just ask. Tell us
what you’ve enjoyed before and we can help you find similar books, or
even steer you in an entirely different direction. If you’re feeling
shy, try Novelist on the MARVEL databases link for excellent
suggestions. [Click

We’re always looking for teens to read and provide us with an opinion of
some of our new books. If you’re interested, please talk to Elizabeth
Forrest in the children’s room.
